Title: Process and device for determining three-dimensional structures in the submicron range
Inventor: HODEL WALTER
IPC: G01B11/245
Filed: 1996-03-06
Abstract: The invention concerns a process for determining three-dimensional structures in the submicron range, which process operates with a coherent beam (3), in particular a laser beam, divided into two partial beams (5a, 11a, 14a; 5b, 11b, 21). The first partial beam (5a, 11b, 21) is focused on an object (1) to be dimensioned structurally with a focusing diameter (24) having approximately the wavelength of the beam. The radiation (25) reflected back from the focus point (24) by the focusing lens (23) is superimposed with the radiation of the second partial beam (5a, 11a, 14a) on a detector field (19) comprising a plurality of mutually independent detectors, and the location-dependent radiation intensity values on the detectors are converted by the latter into analogue electrical signals and stored. Complex amplitude values are determined in each case from these stored values with first phase values of the local wave field at the location (19) of the detectors. Second phase values are formed from the given first phase values by multiplication with a predetermined value. With these second phase values, the intensity values of the original complex amplitude values stored in first memories (30), and the location co-ordinates of the respective detectors, an enlarged object structure is calculated and can be displayed graphically as an enlarged or hologram-like image with structures in the submicron range.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des procédés permettant d'améliorer la production de vaccins antiviraux dans une culture cellulaire animale. Ces procédés reposent sur la manipulation des taux, dans les cellules, de certaines activités antivirales induites par un interféron, notamment, de ceux de la kinase (PKR) dépendante d'ARN double brin et de la 2'-5' oligo-adénylate synthétase (synthétase 2-5A). Dans des cultures cellulaires déficitaires en PKR ou en synthétase 2-5A, on accroît de plusieurs ordres de grandeur la production du virus par rapport à celle de cultures cellulaires dont les taux cellulaires de ces protéines sont normaux, ce qui les rend des plus aptes à la production de vaccins antiviraux.
Patent CA-2229993-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SIRCAR SHIVAJI
IPC: B01J8/02
Filed: 1998-02-20
Abstract: Chlorine is recovered from hydrogen chloride without the contaminating presence of hydrogen chloride in the product by the use of multiple reactors packed with fixed beds of Deacon reaction catalyst, preferably copper oxide or chloride species carried on an inert support, with the reactor feed and effluent lines connected to permit cyclic temperature swing operation, so that each reactor in turn is used to chlorinate the copper oxide species to chloride species and then, after suitable heating, oxidize the copper chloride species to the oxide, suitable for repetition of the chlorination step after suitable cooling, thereby producing chlorine. Hydrogen chloride is fed to the chlorination step, either directly or through the reactor on oxidation duty, and oxygen, and optionally hydrogen chloride, is fed to the oxidation step. The effluent from the oxidation step passes to the reactor on chlorination duty and the effluent from the chlorination step is received as product. This process produces a product uncontaminated by HCl and avoids the use of fluidized catalyst beds such as are found in prior art operations.
